14.113 is the new time to beat :) - Honda-Tech

xlur8ed · 06-03-2006, 06:16 PM

Well today wasn't the perfect day by any means to be drag racing..... 95 degrees, and as the day wore on, poor track conditions. I am VERY confident that with a better temp day, I would be easy 13's.

My best three times of the day were all 14.1's. I have video of 2 of the 14.1's but no idea how to get them online, so timeslips will have to do.

This was launching off the 5500 limiter, spinning a tiny bit, and hooking at about 6200 rpms. Hoosier DR were at 18psi... It is going to be VERY hard to get a good 60' with slicks or drag radials, until they figure out a way to let you rev higher than 5500 from the launch!

damn not bad

no reflash

SuzukaBlueAP2 · 06-03-2006, 11:16 PM

nice, especially for 95 degrees

drag radials helped alot

cgjarvis · 06-04-2006, 06:03 AM

Lookin at his 60ft.......they didnt help much!!!!!!! 2.1?????? Most people get a 2.2 with radials......

It must have helped more with his 1-2 shift to get him down that low. But a 2.0 or less would get him in the 13.xxs!! Nice runs!

well on a new car and new tires
probably has to get used to them

i ran my friends car with drag radials and it was WAY stickier than normal took a few passes to get used to them

when I first bought DR's for my RSX, I ran slower 60's by nearly 2/10 because I wasn't used to them. I didn't know how to heat them up, how to launch with them, etc.

On my stockers I was pulling 2.24 average and on the DR's like 2.4x ha ha ha. After I got used to them the second time to the track and from there foward I was finall able to get low 2.0x

xlur8ed · 06-04-2006, 10:39 AM

As I stated in my first post, being able to rev to 5500 holds back any chance at a 1.9-2.0 60'. The best 60' I cut was 2.132... The drag radials spun for a tiny bit, then hooked VERY well and caught traction right inside vtec, which is optimal... If I was able to rev to 6500-7000 on the launch, I know I would have hit a 13.xx no problem as the 60' would be much better. The Hoosier DR's are very sweet tires. I started at 20psi, and got wheelhop/spun until about 7800, then caught, then bounced the limiter. Lowered the psi to 18, and they spun a tiny bit and caught.

cgjarvis · 06-04-2006, 11:05 AM

I'm sure with a little more practice you will see a 13.9 or better. Good luck!! Keep us posted.

dude you beat a Lotus? lol, wtf? nice runs BTW.

swifty4u · 06-04-2006, 02:11 PM

It doesn't make sense how you want to launch higher, yet you are still spinning.

Nice times though. What is compustar?

werd I don't know why he's complaining. launching off the 5500 rev limiter causes him to spin enough to get off the line without bogging down and hooking right before vtec engages which is the ideal launch. Any higher and all you would be doing is lighting them up.

Essenar83 · 06-04-2006, 02:52 PM

If he rides the clutch a little bit on the launch he could probably launch a little higher and completely let the clutch off as the wheels are in a good rotation.

I don't know specifically what I'm doing when I do it, but I know I was able to get a 2 flat 60' using this technique in my friends GSR EJ.

Just finding the right RPM and dropping the clutch pedal isn't going to be the ideal launch, especially with drag radials.

Nice times with cheap mods. I wonder if a reflash and a good launch will get you 13's soon.

integragsrturbo · 06-04-2006, 03:00 PM

nice runs

SpoolnG2 · 06-04-2006, 03:17 PM

nice runs on just H/I/E...very impressed, 13s are right around the corner with some cooler temps.

jonness · 06-04-2006, 04:01 PM

SWEET!!!

Low 14's
I love it
I can't wait to get my mods installed
I'm getting so excited!

Oh yeah, I was wondering, did you power shifted?

cgjarvis · 06-04-2006, 06:09 PM

Your launches look good. Try not doing your burnout in the water box. All that water ends up in your wheelwells and drops back down on your tires after you pull up. Try to give them just one full rotation on the very edge of the box as you pass through it. Then pull just to the edge of everyone's water trails. Lightem up and pull to the line. This will get you the dryest burnout tire possible. Stick your head out the window if you need to look. Remember....every tenth in the 60ft is worth 2-3 tenths at the end.
